I have a custom built media center PC and I would really like to use LinuxMCE. I currently have Kubuntu 7.10 installed and would like to copy the LinuxMCE iso's wirelessly from my Windows PC to my Linux media center.

However, the Buffalo wireless PCI card I bought will disable itself about 5 seconds after I enable it - everytime. I checked some reviews at www.newegg.com and one of them said that this cards works perfectly out of the box with Ubuntu, so I figured it should work with Kubutnu. I posted this problem on the Kubuntuforums.com, but no one has responded, so I thought I'd try here.

i assume that since you are trying to move the isos wirelessly, that you will also want to use LinuxMCE wirelessly. if so, you should probably search the forums a little about that. it depends on what you want to use LinuxMCE for, but wirelessly using it for media isnt so great. especially if you intend to use it for any hd programming. if all you want is to do lights and stuff then it would work, but i would imagine since its your media center pc that you would want it to serve video at some point.

well...what i mean is...as long as you are using the media center/core on the tv you are watching you would be fine. if you ever get media directors set up for other rooms, you wont want to use those, over the wireless, to get video from your core.

Thanks for the advise. As far as the wireless card, I found out that it is support with kernel 2.6.17 and my kernel version was 2.6.13. So, I rebuilt my media center pc using AMD 64 bit architecture and will install Kubunutu 8.04. I hope LinuxMCE will work with this version.
